I just received a malware spam that had an ISO malware attachment (filename something.pdf.iso). The email was not flagged as spam nor junk by Thunderbird.

Shouldn't Thunderbird be smart enough to flag any email with an ISO attachment as suspicious?

An ISO, in itself, is not necessarily spam, any more than a zip file might be spam.
